SEND THEM BACK Act of 2024

HR 7259, the "SEND THEM BACK Act of 2024," requires the fast-track deportation of undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally on or after January 20, 2021, without allowing them to request asylum or claim fear of persecution. This provision directly affects individuals who arrived without legal authorization during that period, excluding current members of the U.S. Armed Forces as of January 1, 2024. The bill bypasses standard asylum screening processes for this group, mandating immediate removal proceedings. It does not alter existing asylum eligibility rules for those who entered before the specified date.
